Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with a specific glassed feedthrough due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (0-12J).
There is a rare potential for reduced- or no-energy output during high voltage (HV) therapy (typically 0-12J) in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific (glassed) feedthrough, including currently available ICDs and CRT-Ds.
Medtronic is recalling certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have a specific glassed feedthrough. This could cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which might lead to ineffective treatment. The recall is for specific model numbers and serial numbers listed in the notice.
The device uses a glassed feedthrough that can sometimes cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This means the device might not deliver the necessary electrical energy to treat heart conditions effectively, potentially leading to ineffective treatment. However, this is a rare occurrence and not a direct safety hazard like fire or injury.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have the specific glassed feedthrough. Most users are not at immediate risk, but those with the recalled devices should check their model and serial numbers.
Check your device model number (DTPB2QQ) and serial number (RTK followed by 6 digits) listed in the recall notice. The recall applies to specific devices manufactured with a glassed feedthrough.
Look for the model number DTPB2QQ and serial numbers starting with RTK followed by 6 digits on your device.
This recall is for a rare potential issue where the device might not deliver enough energy during high voltage therapy. It is not an immediate safety hazard like fire or injury, but could lead to ineffective treatment.
Check your device model number and serial number against the list provided in the recall notice. If you have the recalled device, contact Medtronic for further instructions.
The affected devices have model number DTPB2QQ and serial numbers starting with RTK followed by 6 digits. Check your device's label for these details.
